I just bought a pair of Fischer skis and bindings over the internet for my
wife. (actually everyone local was out of stock for the year!)
The system is such that mounting the bindings and setting them for the boot
size is pretty foolproof. She is a very conservative skier, so setting the
adjustments at the very bottom of the scale (4) like her old skis should be
fine.
I am able to pop the boots out with what seems like a reasonable amount of
force

Is there any compelling reason to have an "expert" check this over; are
brand new binding likely to be really far off? If it were for me I wouldn't
worry about it, but I would hate to see someone else get hurt because I
would spring for a prudent expense.

There is no compelling reason to have an expert check a brand new pair
of bindings unless you like wasting your time.

Set them yourself if your comfortable. I do all my own settings,
mountings, drilling, adjustments. DIN charts are available all over
the internet with a quick search - a ski shop will be using the exact
same formula's. Do a little research, and then do the bindings.
You'll be in a better position to fix or adjust them on the fly down
the road.

Good luck.
